How Is an EIP Billed?

Pay-per-use: You can start using the EIP first and then pay as you go. You are billed based on the EIP usage duration (by bandwidth) or used traffic (by traffic).

You will be billed for the EIP and fixed bandwidth.

  • EIP reservation price

    If your pay-per-use EIP has no instance bound, you will be billed for the EIP reservation price.

  • Fixed bandwidth price
    • EIP bandwidth prices: bandwidth prices of yearly/monthly EIPs and pay-per-use EIPs (by bandwidth); traffic price of pay-per-use EIPs (by traffic)
    • Shared bandwidth price
    • Shared data package price
